Trovelore Light Sussex Chicken Brooch Pin – A Homage to Heritage Poultry

“The hen is the wisest of all the animal creation, because she never cackles until the egg is laid.” – Abraham Lincoln

The Light Sussex Chicken Brooch Pin (5.7cm/2.2”) is a whimsical tribute to the beloved heritage breed, its plump silhouette and speckled feathers lovingly rendered by Indian artisans. Hand-embroidered with cotton, felt, and shimmering accents, this piece captures the humble charm of farmyard life in wearable art form.

Artisan Craftsmanship:

Farmyard realism: Cotton body with felt comb, sequin-speckled “feathers”
Vintage charm: Metallic thread accents, seed bead eyes, and folksy stitching
Secure wear: Sturdy metal pin clasp with protective felt backing
Convertible design: Add a bail adapter (sold separately) for pendant wear
Heirloom quality: 12-15 hours of meticulous hand embroidery per piece

Why This Hen Captivates:

Symbol of Nourishment: Honors the Light Sussex’s role as a classic dual-purpose breed
Artisan Legacy: Supports women-owned ethical production in Delhi
Conversation Starter: A quirky nod to farm life, whether you’re rural or urban
Versatile Joy: Equally at home on denim jackets or linen tea towels

Styling Your Clucky Muse:

Farmers Market Chic: Pin to canvas aprons or straw tote straps
Country Elegance: Adorn cable-knit sweaters or corduroy blazers
Kitchen Witchery: Secure to recipe journals or herb-drying racks
Boho Nostalgia: Suspend as a pendant over prairie dresses

The Handmade Flock
Each hen boasts artful imperfections:

Unique “feather” speckling patterns
Slight asymmetry in comb stitching
Varied bead-eye expressions
These quirks are the artisans’ signatures – proof your hen is one-of-a-kind.

Limited Roost
Crafted in small batches to honor slow fashion. Once these hens find their coops, their exact replication cannot be promised.

From the Founders’ Vision:
“Our Light Sussex carries the warmth of sunlit henhouses and generations of stewardship. It’s for those who cherish humble beauty and stories stitched into fabric.”
– Dhruti & Seema, Trovelore Co-Founders
